  • HS represents the known Harmonic Speed of the washing machine

  • DS represents a current drum speed

  • Washing machine 101 reads and/or stores the known harmonic speed HS for future reference, as well as the change counter variable CC.
  • step 210 the washing machine 101 determines whether the intended spin speed is greater than a threshold level below which the washing machine ignores machine vibration.
  • the threshold level is 400 RPM. That is, when washing machine 101 is spinning the drum 105 below 400 RPM, washing machine 101 does not track machine vibration because vibration is generally known to not cause problems when the drum speed is below the threshold level.
  • step 215 the washing machine accelerates the drum 105 to the desired speed, and periodically reads or receives data from accelerometer 113 to determine the speed at which vibration is at a maximum during the spin cycle.

  • the spin speed was below the threshold level (here, 400 RPM)
  • the method ends, because the washing machine does not track or update the harmonic speed based on vibration detected below 400 RPM.
  • washing machine 101 proceeds to steps 230-270 to determine whether the installation of the washing machine has changed, and if so, also determine whether the known harmonic speed should be changed.
  • step 230 washing machine 101 determines whether harmonic speed HS is null, i.e., the washing machine is new, has never been run in a consumer environment, and/or has been reset to factory default settings. That is, part of the initialization procedures for the user, installer or technician might include resetting the harmonic speed variable.
  • HS may be set to null during routine maintenance or on command by a user. Regardless of why HS is null, when HS is null the harmonic speed HS is set to equal the max vibration speed VS, and the method ends.

However, if the max vibration speed VS is not within the predetermined range of the harmonic speed HS, then washing machine 101 in step 245 checks to determine whether the New Vibration Speed NVS variable is null, i.e., whether this is the first time the washing machine has detected a high vibration speed at other than the harmonic speed HS. IfNVS is null, then washing machine 101 in step 250 sets NVS equal to the max vibration speed detected during the just finished spin cycle, resets the change counter to 1, and ends.

  • washing machine 101 in step 255 determines whether max vibration speed VS is within a predetermined range, e.g., within 50 RPM, of the new vibration speed NVS.
  • the predetermined range is used for similar reasons as with the max vibration speed VS being compared against the harmonic speed HS in step 240, namely, because the max vibration speed VS may vary slightly from cycle to cycle, but it should not change substantially unless the machine installation or setup has changed.
  • step 250 the new vibration speed NVS is set to equal max vibration speed VS
  • change counter CC is reset to one (1), and the method ends. If the max vibration speed VS is within the predetermined range of new vibration speed NVS, as determined in step 255, then in step 260 washing machine 101 increments change counter by one. That is, change counter CC represents the number of consecutive cycles during which the washing machine has detected a relatively constant new vibration speed, i.e., speeds all within the predetermined range.
  • step 265 washing machine determines whether change counter CC is at least 10, i.e., for nine (9) spin cycles in a row washing machine 101 has detected that the maximum vibration occurs at a speed other than the harmonic speed, and that other speed has remained constant (or at least within a predefined range of itself).
  • step 270 the washing machine 101 sets the harmonic speed HS based on the new vibration speed NVS, and resets change counter CC. The method then ends the spin cycle procedure. If in step 265 the change counter has not reached ten (10), then the method also ends the spin cycle procedure.
  • Fig. 2 The methodology of Fig. 2 is intended to represent one possible embodiment for monitoring and altering a maximum vibration speed, harmonic speed, or resonant frequency of a washing machine and other methods may alternatively be used.
  • One or more steps in Fig. 2 may be optional, and steps may be performed in other than their recited order. Functions in each step may be combined, or may be split into finer levels of granularity.

Any calculable range may be used. Variable names are representative only, and alternative names may be used instead, provided that the alternative variables represent the same function or meaning. [0031] For example, the above described method automatically changes the prospective new harmonic speed NVS when the max vibration speed VS is not within a predetermined range of NVS.
  • a shift in VS for a single cycle may be an anomaly or the result of external input, e.g., a laundry basket or box of detergent is sitting on top of the laundry appliance, thereby changing the vibration characteristics of the appliance.

  • Adjustments to the method may include, if the new vibration speed NVS is not within range of the previously known new vibration speed NVS and is still outside the range of the harmonic speed HS then the change counter may be incremented, a second (new) counter is incremented and the second possible new vibration speed is saved for future reference. If this second new vibration speed persists for a predetermined number of cycles then the second new vibration speed replaces the first new vibration speed. If the second new vibration speed does not persist or if the second new vibration speed replaces the first new vibration speed, then the second counter and second new vibration speed are cleared.

  • the washing machine 101 adjusts the spin speed to be outside the upper or lower boundary of the harmonic zone depending on whether the original spin speed was higher or lower than the known harmonic speed. If the originally intended spin speed is higher than the harmonic speed as determined in step 315, but is still within the harmonic band as determined by step 310, then washing machine 101 adjusts the spin speed SS in step 320 to be outside the upper boundary of the harmonic zone (unless the upper boundary is beyond the maximum spin speed available to a given model, in which case the spin speed is adjusted to the maximum allowable spin speed for that model).

Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes qui détectent des fréquences de résonance élevées lorsqu'un dispositif de blanchissage (par exemple une machine à laver ou un séchoir) est dans un cycle 'essorage, et évite ces fréquences, ainsi qu'une bande située autour de ces fréquences (par exemple 75 tr/m de chaque côté de la fréquence de résonance), dans des cycles d'essorage ultérieurs. Des aspects de l'invention fournissent aussi la détection du fait que le réglage du dispositif de blanchissage a changé (par exemple, résultant d'un changement d'emplacement physique ou de réglage), et fournit le réétalonnage d'une fréquence de résonance ou d'une vitesse de vibration élevée connue lorsqu'un nouveau réglage est détecté. Des aspects de l'invention reconnaissent que des solutions pour minimiser les vibrations sont inutiles. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'optimiser ni de minimiser les vibrations afin qu'un dispositif de blanchissage agisse correctement, mais il est plutôt suffisant d'assurer que le dispositif de blanchissage ne mette pas en rotation le tambour à une vitesse qui provoque une vibration excessive.
